Only an hour or so in, but the gameplay loop is addictive. As long as the launch issues are not a dealbreaker, there is a lot to enjoy here.
-x 1280 -y 720
Under 'Change settings', select winxp
The game ran perfectly and I had a perfect gaming experience when playing handheld. It was when I wanted to play in docked mode that the issues started.
I first set the x and y values using the launch options mentioned here. Once I did this, the game worked docked in desktop mode - unfortunately the controller was not detected natively so it was on to gaming mode.
Sadly, this was even worse as the game wouldn't even launch; the steam logo would spin indefinitely. What ended up working for me here was to go to the game preferences in Steam, and under "Compatibility" check "Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool". I selected "Proton Experimental". Now the funny thing is, this did not work at first; but I de-selected the compatibility checkbox and tried a hail-mary. To my complete surprise it worked perfectly.
Force the game to run in a pre-defined aspect ratio as in the launch options mentioned here.
The controller was not detected in desktop mode, but it was flawless in gaming mode.
Since I do not own the game on Steam (my copy is from the Epic Games Store), I probably encountered a lot more issues than someone who owned a Steam copy. Having said that, these tweaks enabled me to have a good experience both docked and in handheld mode, albeit only in gaming mode.
